The Bears picked up Jay Cutler from the Broncos last season in hopes that he would lead them to the top of the NFC North. Instead, Cutler underperformed throughout the season, throwing 26 interceptions. A team just cannot win when the quarterback throws that many picks during the course of the year.
Another player who didn’t live up to expectations after a surprising rookie year was running back Matt Forte. After rushing for over 1,200 yards his rookie season, he couldn’t reach 1,000 this past year. Star linebacker Brian Urlacher has had problems staying healthy as well.
All in all, the Bears are in for yet another mediocre season. I say they go 7-9 again in a top heavy division that features the Vikings and Packers.

The Chicago Bears are in a situation where they want to win now. After adding Julius Peppers, the Bears showed that they are dedicated to winning. But they are in a questionable state right now due to Jay Cutler. The Bears gave up a lot to acquire Cutler’s services.
Last year, Cutler threw for 27 touchdowns, which seems good. But when you add his 26 interceptions, that is not good. He has always been a quarterback to rack up both of those statistics. But this year, he needs to be efficient. If not, the Bears could be watching the playoffs on television again.

The Bears are looking to make use of their budget on free agents come 11:01pm this Thursday, looking to fill some gaps – most notably at defensive end and safety, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune.
The Bears have their focus set free safety Antrel Rolle, who was released from the Cardinals. In 2009 Rolle posted 61 tackles, 11 assists and four interceptions.
Their eyes are also set on defensive ends Julius Peppers (2009: 36 tackles, 6 assists, 5 interceptions) and Aaron Kampman (2009: 30 tackles, 12 assists 0 interceptions).
Maybe these will be the upgrades the Bears need to make it to the post season for the first time in four years. But then again… if Cutler keeps throwing directly at the other team’s defense, there may be no hope for us yet.
Happy Holidays! - Despite having the most interceptions in the NFL, QB Jay Cutler ignores the criticisms of everyone except those within the Bears organization, Vaughn McClure of the Chicago Tribune reports.
“Whatever you guys write and whatever you guys do, that’s your deal… I can’t get wrapped up in what’s going on outside of this building.” Jay Cutler told reporters during Wednesday’s news conference.
Going into Monday night’s game against the NFC North champion Vikings, Cutler has already thrown 25 interceptions this season alone-more than any other NFL Quarterback this season.
Is this the right approach? Should Cutler ignore the criticisms from the media, especially in light of how terrible his performance has been? What do you guys think?
The Bear’s 24-20 loss to the Eagles was a bitter sting. The good news? Jay Cutler only threw one interception. The bad news? It was a game-ending interception with 1:51 left to play, closing the door on the possibility of the Bears regaining the lead.
Check out the Chicago Tribune for a full recap of the game.
It’s becoming pathetic. In the Thursday Night game against the 49ers, Cutler threw five — FIVE — interceptions. He’s thrown seventeen so far this season. How are we supposed to win games when our QB basically hands the other team the ball? Having just signed an expensive extension for him, it feels like an incredibly slap in the face. If this is what we have to look forward to for the next three seasons, then we’re in for a very, very long three seasons.
But what do we do? How do we fix this? Do we suck it up, eat the $30mm and hope that this is merely a fluke for the season? Or do we trade Cutler away at the end of the season? We’re 4-5, below .500. But is there a clear answer? We need changes, but what kind?
Does anyone have an ideas? How do we save the Bears?
What do you guys think? Can they do it? Will Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, and Lance Briggs show Chad Ochocinco, Carson Palmer, and Cedric Benson who’s boss? Or will the the Bears embarrass themselves by constantly giving up the ball?
We’re approaching our first game since our blog was created and I’d like to start a new game day tradition. I am leaving this thread open to you fans to discuss this amongst each other. Duke it out Bears fans, Bangals fans, or fans of other teams who have an opinion and don’t forget to check back after the game for a recap and feedback!
Kick off is is 3:15(CT)/4:15(ET) at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati; the game will be televised on FOX.
